HRSA Requests Feedback on 340B Rebate Model Pilot, Comment by April 20
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) issue a Request for Information (RFI) to solicit stakeholder input regarding the potential use of rebates to effectuate the ceiling price under the 340B Program, including the standards and procedures that should govern the approval of manufacturer rebate plans and the impacts on all stakeholders.
This RFI seeks comments on whether HRSA should implement a rebate model under the 340B Program and how best to operationalize any such rebate framework for stakeholders. The information collected through this RFI will assist HRSA in evaluating the operational, financial, and drug access for patients of a rebate model on covered entities, manufacturers, and other stakeholders across the drug supply chain.
To provide stakeholders additional time to submit meaningful comments for HRSA’s review in evaluating operational, financial, and potential impacts on access to drugs for patients under a rebate model, HRSA has extended the comment period from 30 days to 60 days. Feedback on the RFI is due no later than April 20, 2026.
In addition, in compliance with the requirement for opportunity for public comment on proposed data collection projects of the Paperwork Reduction Act, HRSA seeks comments from the public regarding the burden estimate or any other aspect of the Information Collection Request (ICR), related to a potential 340B Rebate Model Pilot Program.
Comments on this ICR should be received no later than April 27, 2026.

Webinar: Healthcare at a Crossroads: Using Concierge Medicine to Strengthen Revenue, Retention + Patient Satisfaction, March 5
Health systems are seeking practical ways to enhance revenue, improve physician satisfaction, increase patient satisfaction and retain top talent without disrupting existing business structures.
Flexible concierge medicine programs are emerging as a way to achieve these aims. These programs operate alongside traditional practice structures, allowing organizations to add a new revenue stream while preserving current workflows, staffing and governance – while also addressing growing patient demand for connectivity, continuity and more personalized care.
This session offers an overview of how healthcare organizations are offering membership medicine as an optional service. Patients can choose to remain traditional patients or opt into a membership based on their preferences, creating flexibility for both patients and practices and supporting higher patient satisfaction through choice and experience.
The session will also explore how increased physician satisfaction contributes directly to stronger patient relationships, recruitment, retention and financial performance. Leaders will gain clarity on how concierge programs fit within large medical groups and health systems without requiring restructuring or limiting participation to primary care.

Whitepaper: How UVM Health Cut Clinician Burnout 65% in 4 Months
Clinician burnout driven by documentation burden is no longer an abstract risk: it is an operational threat to access, quality and workforce stability.
The University of Vermont Health, the largest health system in Vermont, faced rising burnout rates and mounting frustration tied to HER documentation. Serving a largely rural population across primary and specialty care, leaders needed a solution that improved clinician well-being without forcing productivity mandates or compromising training.
This KLAS Arch Collaborative case study details how UVM Health approached ambient documentation through a clinician-led, data-driven rollout. After a vendor neutral pilot, the organization scaled the technology across primary care, specialty practices and residency programs, guided by provider governance and continuous measurement.
Within four months, self-reported burnout dropped from 69% to 24%. Clinicians described a renewed ability to be fully present with patients, while visit volumes increased organically without top-down mandates. Governance remained clinician led, with ongoing measurement using EHR data, surveys and patient feedback to sustain gains.
The study offers health system leaders a practical, evidence-based example of how addressing clinician experience can translate into measurable improvements across the organization.

Whitepaper: Physician Alignment, Engagement & Retention: A Roadmap for Healthcare Administrators
Healthcare leaders know physician turnover is expensive. What’s less obvious is why so many retention initiatives fail to deliver lasting results.
Too often, engagement is treated as a survey, retention as an HR metric and alignment as an abstract goal. Meanwhile, burnout persists, vacancies linger, and organizations lose physicians they’ve invested heavily to recruit and onboard.
This whitepaper reframes physician retention as an enterprise priority and offers a clear roadmap for leaders who want measurable improvement, not temporary fixes.
Drawing on industry benchmarks, executive experience and practical tools, the report outlines how alignment, engagement and retention work together – and how health systems can operationalize all three.

Whitepaper: The Implementation Gap: Bridging AI Promises and Healthcare Realities
Imagine AI tools that clinicians trust, workflows that actually improve care and governance that supports scale instead of slowing it down.
For many health systems, the reality looks different. AI pilots stall. Clinicians push back. Value is hard to quantify. Leaders are left wondering why promising technology fails to translate into everyday practice.
Based on a Becker’s CEO + CFO Roundtable discussion, this report features insights from Northwestern Medicine, University of Iowa Health Care, SSM Health and Anumana.ai. Panelists explained why medical-grade AI demands a higher evidentiary bar, how governance and transparency shape adoption and why workflow integration determines success more than novelty.

Webinar: How Boston Medical Center Created 3,200+ Days of New Capacity, March 4
Boston Medical Center faced the same challenge many systems are grappling with: beds staying full longer than necessary because getting patients home safely took too long.
BMC turned to AI to transform how teams identify patients ready for home and proactively coordinate their transitions. After automating care operations, BMC eliminated 3,200 excess days – that’s 9 years of patient time freed up. That’s capacity created without construction, without adding staff, and without compromising care.
In this webinar, Christopher Manasseh, MD, associate chief medical officer inpatient operations at Boston Medical Center, shares how the organization shifted from manual discharge planning to automated capacity creation – helping more patients transition home sooner while saving 25,400 FTE hours and $3.2 million annually.
